Manque d’intimité entre les occupants des gites utilisant: - la même piscine (on se retrouve facilement à 10 dans une piscine de taille plutot petite avec des inconnus alors qu’on recherche un minimum d’intimité) - et le jardin (table de ping pong commune à 2m de notre salle a manger) et le père de la propriétaire (trop présent mais veut bien faire). La maison n’est pas bien aménagée: ni ventilateur ni clim pour l’été, Si nous ouvrons le soir pour respirer, nous sommes envahis de mouches, pas une moustiquaire aux fenetres pour éviter cela (le pere de la proprio nous a indiqué que pour eviter les mouches il fallait garder les fenetres fermees…). Canapé du salon au combien inconfortable (attention à vos vertebres), tout comme les matelas. Enfin, logement très difficile d’accés depuis le stationnement situé sur la route 100m plus bas et avec encore une trentaine de marches à monter jusqu’à la porte du gite (moins de 1,80m de hauteur sous la porte donc attention à votre tête, la mienne s’y est cogné plusieurs fois…) donc vraiment pas pratique avec des enfants en bas âge ou pour des personnes à mobilité réduite. Le premier village Le Cheylard est à 15/20 mn en voiture avec beaucoup de virage et des graviers sur la route. Points positifs: au calme, logement bien équipé niveau cuisine, lave linge et nécessaire pour enfants. Mais le prix proposé pour une semaine en août n’est pas adapté aux services proposés qui sont franchement décevants, surtout concernant l’hygiène qui est le point négatif déjà relevé par d’autres voyageurs. ##### Gilles B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Famille P. 20 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Séjour ardechois en famille Gite beau et bien équipé ; il ne faut pas avoir peur des escaliers ! La piscine et le billard ont contribué au bonheur des jeunes et moins jeunes. Accueil sympathique et attentionné. La région est superbe, meme si les routes sont étroites... ##### Famille P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saskia B., Mont Saxonnex 7 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacances idéales Le gîte est spacieux, propre, très bien équipé avec terrasse privative. Piscine, sauna et hamam en commun avec les 2 autres gîtes mais personne ne se marche dessus et on y fait de belles rencontres. Propriétaire très accueillant. Le coin est calme et dépaysant, les gens sympathiques. Balades natures, artistiques, cabane à livres, bord de rivière à faire à pied sans voiture. Petite épicerie de produits locaux pas loin, qui fait aussi bar, snack et resto, tenu par une famille aux petits soins pour ses clients. Les vacances idéales, reposantes dans un cadre magnifique. ##### Saskia B. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### didier b. 13 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Très belle maison du pays Ardéchois Bien équipé, un effort pour la propreté serait le bienvenu Sinon très calme et reposant ##### didier b. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jean-Marc S. 29 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Bonnes prestations Le gîte est très bien équipé. Entre la piscine, le hammam, le sauna, etc,.. (partagé avec les deux autres gîtes), rien ne manque pour passer un bon séjour quelque soit la météo. Attention toutefois aux escaliers, il y en a beaucoup. Autre point, dans le descriptif il est mentionné 4 chambres (gîte l'Olivier). Ce n'est pas tout à fait le cas, il y a deux chambres adultes, 1 chambres enfant et le salon (ouvert sur cuisine et véranda) qui dispose d'un canapé lit. Pour le reste, les photos sont conformes. Au final, nous avons passé un bon séjour dans un beau gite bien équipé. ##### Jean-Marc S.
